What was I doing in Detroit in February?
My brother and I must have gotten to this show late because we were in the balcony. I remember this specifically because throughout the whole show I watched the photographers. Not that I hadn't thought about it earlier but this show was kind of the moment where I felt really confident in my decision to study photography. I was borderline obsessed with the Afghan Whigs (what's this was business. I get chills thinking about seeing them in a little over a month on their little reunion tour) and yet I was completely distracted trying to figure out what kind of camera the girl taking pictures was using and where she was standing and what it would be like to shoot the Afghan Whigs (which I did at the Double Door, using way too low ISO film and no flash, a year and a half later). Yeah, you get it.
1965 came out about four months before this show and the first time I heard it was in my car. The volume was way up and I didn't know it started with that match noise and it scared the shit out of me. I still love every single album they ever made.
